What Horizon360 does

Horizon 360 (legal entity: société HORIZON 360 ADVERTISING SAS) is a privately held French local communication agency founded in 2017 and headquartered at 5 avenue Carnot in Massy, Essonne. The company organizes end-to-end local advertising campaigns for merchants, restaurants, agencies, franchises, and large enterprises across France, combining graphic design, professional printing, multi-channel flyer distribution (hand-to-hand, mailbox, windshield), and digital marketing services (SEO, SEA, email, SMS).

Operationally, Horizon 360 runs a physical distribution infrastructure rather than a software platform: 15 agency offices across all major French metropolitan regions - including Strasbourg, Nice, Lille, Lyon, Nantes, Rouen, Marseille, Nancy, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Orléans, and Rennes - supported by field teams, vehicles, Vigik building-access badges, PTT mailbox keys, route-planning tools, and weather-aware scheduling. A planned Brussels, Belgium office represents the company's first international expansion. Enterprise customers referenced on the site include Decathlon, E.Leclerc, Axa, Bouygues, and BNP Paribas, alongside an SMB long tail served via direct agency outreach and online quote forms.

The revenue model is transaction-fee based: distribution priced at EUR 50 per thousand flyers in urban zones and EUR 60-90 per thousand in rural zones, with bundled printing-plus-distribution packages offering approximately 50% discounts on distribution rates. Graphic design and digital marketing services are quoted on a professional-services basis. Go-to-market is sales-led via the agency network and a content-marketing blog ('Le blog communication locale'), targeting shops, restaurants, real estate agencies, automotive services, franchises, and local authorities across France.
